Curious as to why not count the Quest?

Mostly because it is the only Meta product I use daily. Facebook might be used once in a blue moon just so I can try and contact my best bud if I don't see him log into Steam in a while.

Even more curious as to if anyone here regularly does work in VR with the thing or has meetings in Horizon Worlds. I find this idea amusing thinking how a boring ass office meeting could be made a little more fun if everyone is some random cartoon character or dinosaur or 3D geometric shape.

I lurk on Facebook. I try to lurk on Threads but I just can't get into it. Just sorta missed Instagram.

Not my thing. Has Faceboot for about a week or so. I am sure if anything important is on there someone will tell me.

I use Facebook for a few nonprofit pages I run. Its main perk is events organization. I also use Instagram for my nonprofits as well -- it's easy(ish) to cross post on both platforms while still respecting the individual audiences who consume content on each.

i sometimes take a look at instagram

I don't use any Meta products and I've deleted any accounts I had on them. This includes the ones mentioned, Oculus (I have the CV1 headset but wouldn't be able to use it that easily anyway due to switching to Linux) and WhatsApp.

I used to for communicating with friends. I felt I was starting to become addicted to doomscrolling, basically said "screw this, message me on Matrix", and deleted my accounts. Two of the lot actually made an account, and nobody except me actually uses it. So be it, then. I care more about my privacy than having people to talk to.

I still have to use WhatsApp for my international family. That is what they use. My mom also still uses Facebook Messenger and won't move to something else. I think it is because she uses it on her tablet and WhatsApp won't work on it. I tried getting everyone to move to Signal but I was very lonely on that hill. I have FB account but I rarely every check it (once in every six months or so). I got off in 2018 after I felt so angry over something political in the US and realized that FB was making me angry on purpose to get clicks. I never had Instagram. Got into Pixelfed and I'm enjoying it a lot (perhaps because I have no prior benchmark with Instagram).

I've been quite concerned with Meta since I read "The Chaos Machine" by Max Fischer which goes into detail about how FB was heavily responsible for the ethnic cleansing of the Rohyinga in Burma.

I once read a series of articles where someone gave up using one of the big five tech companies (Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft) for one week each. It was interesting how hard it was do with some. Facebook and Apple were the easiest but Amazon was nearly impossible because of AWS. I've concluded that for me, I can minimize my Facebook, Google, and Amazon use as much possible but in the end, just have to live with Microsoft and to a much lesser extent Apple for time being. But to each their own.

Cancelled in 2016 or so and never looked back. Now I look at people with a face filled with shock when I hear that they still use Facebook. Usually it's "oh but the marketplace" or "oh but the events".

I'm still on Facebook to keep up with family I don't want having my phone number. I'm on Insta to support friends who's business is kind of tied to it (tattooers and other artists mostly). I'm on Threads because my work requires me to be in there (and elsewhere) to promote their stuff. I don't actually do that, but apparently once you have an account it's there forever unless you want to nuke your Instagram account as well.

I've receeded from FB and Insta (along with Twitter {"X"} and Reddit) as well as being fully adverse to posting on Threads in favor of Fediverse alternatives. Been on Mastodon since the 2021 Facebook whistleblower and Lemmy since Reddit's API BS last year. Haven't tried BlueSky or the other Twitter alternatives. Now... getting away from using Google/Alphabet has been another struggle entirely.

As a performer, I'm essentially forced to use IG for reach. I fucking hate it.

I use Messenger more than Facebook tbh

Still ? I never have. I did have a twitter account but I only posted 3 times in 5 years, it wa for following clinate science experts. I left it altogether once there was enough of them on Mastodon. Reddit was about it, now ActiviyPub only.

I use Instagram as a photo backup repository.

I use Instagram to keep up to date with people I know IRL.

Occasionally use Facebook Messenger when I can't convince people to move to Telegram/Signal

I was never really active on Instagram or threads. I do still use Facebook as I have a number of friends who are on there who aren't on any other social media (and also, neither am I really). But my usage has dropped a lot since they've made the mobile client so horrible. Ever since they kneecapped Most Recent I refuse to be at the mercy of their algorithm. So I really only view it on desktop.

Deleted my Facebook account twelve years ago. I recently got an Instagram account under a fake name and with a spare email purely to exchange memes and funny videos with my girlfriend, but beyond that I avoid anything made by that company. Especially their hardware. Anything Meta Quest exclusive doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned.

I use WhatsApp for a few former coworkers that use it (I only open it a few times a year), otherwise no.

Yes for Instagram, but I don't follow people, mostly hastags (squirrels, dogs, name it) and some pages like National Geographic, NASA, etc. for beautiful pictures.

Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp, every day because all my contacts are there. My Insta account is almost deleted, but I still have things saved there. And Threads, not touching that with a 10ft pole

Messenger because all my family and relatives are on it for 10+ years.

Facebook for marketplace (really big here, mostly the only place to buy/sell stuffs) and also FB for some groups like astronomy, etc. But I don't post on FB nor scroll it.

Uninstalled Facebook, Instagram, never had access to Threads in my country. Can't live without Messenger though, unfortunately. Wish I could get at least some friends on board...

I have an instagram account for a website I have. I also have a personal account (with nothing posted) to attempt to keep up with social and local events. It's mostly pointless though because the algorithm shows me stuff from three or four days ago, not things that are posted chronologically, or today.

WhatsApp, pretty much.

Don't forget WhatsApp!

I had my account set to deletion last week!

PSA: beffore you set your account to be deleted, deactivate it. It takes meta 30 days to delete your account and this resets if you log back in. To avoid friends and strangers from messaging you or interacting with your dying account during those 30 days,, it's a good idea to deactivate it. This way you diss spear from Facebook immediately and people start messaging you over other methods

I use Facebook to keep updated on some friends/family that use it as well as updates within my hoa community. Find it's way better then nextdoor for that.

Instagram I hardly use, maybe check once a week and threads used it one day and stopped

I admin our small town's most active Facebook group, so I have to hang around for that.

WhatsApp for tech support.

WhatsApp but I opted out of the data sharing stuff before they managed to lock me into it. I have a Facebook account that gets used a few times a years. None of the other ones.

It's been more than 10 years since I've had an account on a Meta product.

Facebook not anymore WhatsApp never Instagram never Threads never

I have only used Facebook for it's messenger as many of the people I know can only be contacted there.

Outside of that I'll occasionally look at my mother's picture albums as the bitch has over 7,000 images posted and some of them are of me throughout my life so I'll look to show people certain things.
